NATO has two to three years to prepare for a Russian attack. The warning comes from the chief of staff of the Norwegian army, General Eirik Kristoffersen, reports La Reppublica. Discussing Russia’s ability to rebuild its forces during the war in Ukraine, General Eirik Kristoffersen said: “It will take time, which gives us a timeframe of two to three years to rebuild our forces.” We recall that in January, the German Minister of Defense warned that Russia could attack NATO in the next 5 or 8 years.
The worrying declarations of the NATO countries come after the interview of the President of the United States, Joe Biden, for the British Times magazine. Biden expressed support for Ukraine because otherwise Russia will not be able to stop.
“If we let Ukraine fall, mark my words, you will see Poland sink and you will see all those nations along Russia’s current border invaded,” said Joe Biden, US President.
US support for Ukraine has caused concern in the Kremlin, which through its spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, has indicated that relations between the world’s two superpowers are at their lowest point. Russia today is an enemy country of the United States, just as the United States is an enemy of Russia, Dmitry Peskov told Russian media. Western military instructors that some countries, such as France, may want to send to Ukraine “will not be protected by immunity,” Peskov added. “It doesn’t matter if they are French,” Peskov added.
Ukrainian forces commander Oleksandr Sirski speculated last week that France would soon send instructors and urged other Western partners to join Paris’ “ambitious project”. French President Emmanuel Macron has not ruled out sending French soldiers to Ukraine, stressing that no red line can be drawn in the ongoing conflict.
